January Poker Goals and Bankroll Management Rules


This weekend I was able to play a little poker.  I was getting low on my bankroll and wanted to make sure I could still deposit before I went busto, so I added 20.00 to my account.  At that point I ran good for a while and recouped most of what I had lost.  The last couple of nights I have been getting drawn out on early then working my way back up to slightly over break even.  It's a hard way to play.

I have tried adding tables but seem to do the best right now with just 2 tables.  I will keep trying to add 1 or 2 tables at times so that I can get better at paying attention on multiple tables. 

This month has pretty much been a bust for making money.  There could still be a little comeback.  It will be difficult since I won't have a lot of time to play between work and Christmas travels.   December has been a great month for learning.  I have learned a lot.  Next month it's time to make some money.

My goals for January are:

1.  Get Back on Track with Bankroll Management. 
2.  Play 10,000 hands (That's around 325 hands per day).
3.  Pay attention to my table selection and figure out which tables are the most profitable for me.

My Bankroll Management for January

Up to 60.00 - $4.00 NL 6 max w/2.00 buy in.  .50 tourneys & sng's
60.00 - 80.00 - $4.00 NL 6 max w/3.00 buy in.  .50 tourneys & sng's
80.00 - 250.00 - $4.00 NL 6 max w/4.00 buy in.  1.00 tourneys & sng's

  1. My December play consisted of not playing once BCP Left Merge - so, you are at least progressing where I'm stagnant and not attempting lol

  2. Looks like you are doing well. Keep up the great work ethic on playing poker. I wish I could play on line since I have to go to the casino to get any time in. WA state allows pot but can't allow online poker.

  3. I am fortunate to be able to play online and have a decent player base. I sometimes feel like I have gotten the short end of the stick by not being able to play stars or tilt, but I guess it's not that bad. Thanks for the comments.
